Since today was a chilly, gloomy day, we spent the afternoon at the main library. We explored before the kids settled on different activities; Lily on the computer playing ABC Mouse, and Navy befriending a little girl at the preschool playscape.

After that, we decided to find a new place to try downtown. After driving around for a little bit, we ended up at King Gyros across from Parkview Field. Lily wasn’t very old the last time we’d been, and Navy has never gone.
Each year, I make seemingly lofty New Year’s Resolutions with no clear plan I how I want to achieve them. They’re always the same: get in shape and manage our finances better. They also don’t last very long.

Goal #1: Go on adventures and eat!
We live close to a city with a lot to offer, not to mention everything in the surrounding areas! We have plenty to explore. There are tons of locally owned restaurants that we’ve never eaten at. Lots of festivals we haven’t been to. Museums. Shows. Events. There’s so much to see and do!

One of our goals for 2016 is to eat at more locally owned restaurants. Today, while running errands, Navy and I decided to get an early start on that.
We stopped at Big Rick’s BBQ on Hobson.
We both ordered the wings special with an extra side of mac ‘n cheese. The wings were delicious and messy. The coleslaw was creamy and tangy. I had two helpings (mine and Navy’s). Navy really liked his mac.
The café itself is kind of small, only seating about 20. There’s a patio, but December is usually a little too chilly to use the patio. I can see at peak hours that seating may be an issue, but they do offer carry-out.
